Another conspiracy theory from the net. Is it true?

[Joe]

Ok so to make a long story short I am a titanic fanatic. I love doing research on it and finding out new things about it. I was recently on youtube and guess what pops up in the featured videos column? That's right a good ol' conspiracy theory. Out of curiosity I decided to watch it and it was quite disturbing. Basically the 7 part youtube video talked about an old cult that has been around for centuries lurking in the dark and remaining unaware to the general public since medieval times. This cult is called the Illuminati and literally make "prophecies" come true. They claim that Nostradamus, prophesiers from the bible, ect were actually Illuminati members and intentionally caused their "prophecies" to happen so they can form and create the word as they see fit. The maker of the video claims that they were behind some of the world's greatest moments and disasters such as America being found by British settlers, all of the american wars (both pre and post 1776), 9/11, and a lot of previous history. The maker of the video went on to say that the current generation of Illuminati are putting into effect what "is to become" World War 3 and the end of the world. He said that the war will be between Russia, America, North and South Korea, China, Pakistan, Iran, Mexico, and many others. He also mentioned that the Illuminati were behind the sinking of the Titanic (which is why the video was in the featured list.) What do you guys think? Do you guys believe that this "secret organization" is the reason for the world's accomplishments and catastrophes and are using those things to set in motion World War 3?
